2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

This one has turned loads! She's back to head down again now from what I can feel!

 

[apreslaube]

Eddies rolling a lot today. He was moving a ton yesterday. He apparently now moves and kicks even when I'm doing stuff.

The acid reflux is bad for me too

 

[Mississippi03]

How do you evn know what poition baby is in? I have nooooo clue. I honestly couldnt feel and differentiate what anything is in there lol
Every movement is below my belly button.. I feel a lot in my lower right but still ome on the left to.. And every now and then he tosses it up and wacks me in the cervix lol.. Sooooo how would i know?
I go to the midwife tomorrow, maybe she can tell me?

 

[Aliop]

My baby is all over the place, I am hoping he decides to make head down his preferred position soon though!

I have an OB appt late this afternoon which I am not looking forward to with having to take three children along to as well weekly appointments start for me from here on it, just hope this baby decides to behave and stay put until 40 weeks!!

 

[craquinette]

I had a doctor's appointment this morning to get my whooping cough vaccine.
Just by feeling my belly, she was able to tell me Baby is head down at the moment. That blows my mind, I have no idea how she's able to tell just by touching my belly!! I sure wish I could tell!!
But she also said that at this stage (30 weeks), babies move A LOT, and we're not talking just kicks, but flips and turns and so on. So baby can be head down one minute, and the other way the next. It's not until about 36 weeks that they kind of settle in one position as it gets more difficult for them to move.
I guess that's what all the weird movements I feel are! Baby's just having too much fun doing flips in there!

Baby is head down for me at the moment, so hoping it stays that way! He always has his feet on my right, jabbing me in the ribs! I know he is head down as he frequently gets the hiccups and it's down low. Is it just me that can sometimes feel a little hand/elbow through my belly button where it seems to be really thin? I'm assuming that's what it is anyway as it's definitely some sort of limb

I really hate it when he turns his bum around and it's sticking out, makes my belly go rock hard and makes me need a wee lol. I'm almost at 9 weeks to go!!! It's coming round so quick now!x

I can feel hiccups down really low but every scan shows him breech. Plus his head hurts under my ribs.

 

[Twag]

No idea what my little miss is up too but she has been having a full on rave in there since after dinner last night and all night long and still having a few movements from her! Not sure if I should be worried she is moving so much

I am pretty sure she is breech or transverse tho due to the movement and a lot of cervix kicks! but wondering if all her movement last night was her switching around as feeling a lot more up top of bump today

I remember DS was breech for ages and very close to the end but I managed to get him to turn around making sure I sat upright and on my ball

 

[MissR]

Oh really 3boys? Maybe I have it wrong then. Just taking a guess that he is head down from the feet in the ribs lol! Xx

 

[Nanaki]

Hey hey girls!! How are you all doing? Apologises for my disappearing act as I have got a lot things to do and just got back from Skegness for our holiday there for a week.

Literally don't have time to come in here and check on you all girls! How are your babies doing??

My baby girl keeps moving punching and kicking down there!!!

Almost reaching 30 weeks and will be seeing midwife at 31 weeks (next week) to discuss with a possible of home birth cuz I didn't know that I could put my name down from 37 weeks til 42 weeks to labour at home! Also I had my midwife appt couple of weeks ago but she was covering the original midwife! I was measured a slightly small I was almost 27 weeks and measured 25 Ish. I got a gut feeling that my bump will be still small and will be sending me for a growth scan as I have been through with my youngest son. So waiting game now for me. X

 

[GingerPanda]

Nanaki, Luci is measuring almost two weeks behind too. They've marked me as high risk, even though she appears to be fine. I get a scan every month to make sure she's still growing. Hoping your little miss is okay!

My bump is small too. Every time someone asks me how far along I am, and I say 30 weeks, I always here, "But you're so small!" or "You don't look like you're that far along!" I hate it!

Oh gosh I wasn't saying yours wasn't head down just that I'd thought the same and he wasnt.

 

[MissR]

Hehe 3boys, I get what you mean he had hiccups again today and they was higher up so I have no clue now. Does anybody know why they get hiccups? Is it just natural for them or am I eating/drinking to much of something? Xx

 

[3boys]

As far as I know it's just completely natural.

 

[GingerPanda]

Baby hiccups are a totally normal stage of development. They're not entirely sure WHY it happens. Some think it has to do with part of the maturation of the lungs/diaphragm.

 

[Aliop]

Love all the baby updates!

Great appt for me Baby was head down but posterior, my 2nd and 3rd (EMCS baby) babies were never head down only breech and transverse so I am taking this as a positive step for my VBAC. We got the best 4d picture I've ever gotten with any of my babies and will try to upload it. Baby already has some hair!!!

Thing I am happiest about is his measurements as he is now measuring 31 + 3 so has caught up and surpassed my count (30 + 4) as he was always measuring a week or two behind. I have upped my eating and been having more fats and carbs so maybe that helped???

Mine gets the hiccups too

Sooo tmi post but typically i go number two once every 2-3 days and thats normal for me.. I dont worry about it! But just today i have gone three times.
Ive been having tightenings in my tummy but not painful at all? Is this braxton hicks? I dont know lol
Then we just came in from a walk, i went wee and when i wiped had a pretty decent chunk of plug on there but it wasnt bloody.

Are any of these things i should be worried about or just ignore them? Things always happen to me right after leaving the midwives lol

Keep an eye on it. Are you drinking enough water? I'd be having a few big glasses of water and a lie down on your left side and see if your BH ease up. Plug regenerates so that in itself wouldn't faze me and the change in bowel habits has been going on here too but whenever in doubt it is best to get checked

Ive been drinking more water then usual because ive been worried about dehydration in this humid heat.. Honestly, i drink i pee lol.. The tightenings dont affect me too much.. I noticed them more while out walking but now lying on the couch theyve gone!
